handsome.

sometimes life gets in the way of what matters to you. this past year life certainly stood between me and what makes me happy. it's very easy to put blinders on and follow the only path that seems necessary and everything else just sort of falls by the wayside. although my life revolves around bicycles i had become very sour towards my own bicycling. it took almost 9 months for me to get back in the saddle. when i did, though my cardio had certainly suffered, it felt like i had never taken a break. the sound of the freewheel. the motion of pedaling. the feel of the bike rolling over tarmac. it was all that i loved about the bike and it loved me back.

i hope this year i can take off the blinders and look around at all of the things i've been missing.
